St Mary's Cathedral, sculpture

This statue of Pope John Paul II stands beside the College Street entrance of St Mary's Cathedral. It was created by Fiorenzo Bacci and donated by the Italian-Australian community of Sydney. It commemorates the pope's visit to Sydney in 2008 for World Youth Day.

    So many changes of popes in those scant few years since 2008.
